At the start of the summer, Bridget (Kelly O’Sullivan) has an abortion just as she lands a much- needed job in an affluent Chicago suburb - nannying six-year old Frances (played by the scene- stealing Ramona Edith-Williams).

With no time to recover, she clashes with the obstinate  Frances and struggles to navigate a growing tension between Frances’ moms. As her personal relationships suffer, a reluctant friendship with Frances emerges, and Bridget contends with the inevitable joys and shit-shows of becoming a part of someone else’s family.
